I enjoyed these short stories by Jay McInerney as if they were a box of expensive, dark chocolates. Some centres were nut hard, while the rich ganache in others left a bittersweet aftertaste. The seven deadly sins provided distinctive tastes of American ''success'', as I nibbled my way through twelve sophisticated stories. Mmm.
The Bookbag would like to thank the publishers for sending this book.
''The Good Life'' is Jay McInerney's 9/11 novel. A thought-provoking view of the same events is provided by a collection of short stories and articles by Martin Amis' [[The Second Plane by Martin Amis|The Second Plane]] and [[The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo]], which The Bookbag has have also reviewed.
